Cabo da Roca is the westernmost point of continental Europe, situated at the edge of the Sintra Mountains, and one of Portugal's most emblematic locations. Dating back to 1722, it consists of a 22-meter-high tower, and its light has a luminous range of about 26 nautical miles, roughly 48 kilometers.

A true picture-postcard scene, Azenhas do Mar surprises with its geographical location, where houses cascade down the cliffside to the sea, bathed in an idealized, whitewashed light.

It's one of the most beloved beaches for swimmers, featuring an ocean pool that delights visitors.

The sandy area doesn't exceed 30 meters, yet during high tides, it can entirely disappear.

Once an old fishing village, it has, in recent decades, transformed into a tranquil summer spot and a source of inspiration for many painters like Júlio Pomar, Emílio da Paula Campos, or Milly Possoz.
